1. Getting to Know SiteBuilder

SiteBuilder helps you create a fully functional website utilizing design templates and content widgets. SiteBuilder utilizes a Drag and Drop gallery of widgets (found in the Upper Toolbar) that can be used to add everything from a basic paragraph of text to a contact form. Getting started is easy, first let's get to know the SiteBuilder.



1. Upper Toolbar: The Upper Toolbar contains all of the drag and drop widgets that can be used in the design of your website. Here simply drag and drop one of the content widgets from the gallery to the desired location in your website.

2. Drop Zone: This is the area where the drag and drop widgets may be dropped.

3. The following options are available in the Lower Toolbar:

  • Pages: Here you are able to add and manage the titles and number of additional pages you have in your website.
  • Files: The File Manager is your repository for any images, text, documents, etc. that you wish to add to your website.
  • Settings: The Settings Manager is where you will add your basic information, choose page layouts, and change colors and backgrounds (if applicable to the selected template).
  • Templates: Change your website template with the click of a mouse. Your website content will be transferred to the new template, no need to worry, however, you may need to do some resizing of images and text boxes.
  • Preview: Select Preview to see what your site will look like in a web browser once it is published.
  • Publish: Once you have completed your website and set up your subdomain, you may select Publish to show your site to everyone.
